Costing too much is only one of many reason I want to leave.
1. I am an individual, who owes no allegiance to any group or government.
2. Costly, yes, because unions. I understand the want/need for unions, but a couple of things come to mind: the business owner should decide who and how much to pay, and what benefits to offer. Unions take dues whether you want to be a member or not. This battle is between the business owner and the unions so I will not meddle.
3. Costly, yes, because red-tape, permits, licenses which amount to government extortion.
4. This country is Fascist. There are ways to avoid that and I do a pretty good job of living under the radar, but there are still things that I do and would like to do and cannot skirt the system.
5. I have seen this country east to west, north to south and everything in-between. I have traveled outside of the country as well, and have met very wonderful people.
6. It is easier for me to live off-the-grid abroad, at least at the moment. I value the right to travel freely, not only for myself but others too. "Illegal" this, document that, papers please, green cards, work Visa's - all to FUND THE FED, which they have absolutely NO natural right to do unless a crime has been committed against person or property.
The simple solution to all of this is to get .Gov out of the affairs of business and individual person, and let the free market work it all out.
As for Trump tinkering with Executive Orders, DACA, etc., it is all hog-wash. Again, it is a way to Fund the Fed, restrict more of our freedoms, and meddle into the affairs of private business and people. Private Contract Rights, Private Property Rights, all by the way-side. Isn't it bad enough that Fascism has taken strong root over our healthcare, all because of Fed.gov?
